When there is a natural and healthy circulation of the blood, the entire quantity, estimated at one-eighth the weight of the body, passes through the heart every five minutes. This rapid flow of the blood through the system vents the entrance of disease germs and impuritics of every description. | It filters out all that is not necessary or good for the growth and development of the body and nourishing and strengthening to the muscles, tissucs, nerves and bones. Tut, unfortunately, few persons can rightly claim an absolutely pure blood supply and perfect and unpolluted circulation, and in conwesyjeace are exposed to innumerable diseases.
